Digital Extremes Announces Tennocon 2018 to Take Place in July

Are you a fan of Warframe? Do you play on your Xbox One? We know a fan here at XBA who loves the game.  Oh, who am I to kid, I am that guy.  I only started playing in January of this year (2018) and I am hooked, so I have been researching a lot of stuff on what I can do in the game, and the communities it has spawned.

Well, deveoper (and publisher) Digital Extremes has annouced that it plans to celebrate its third annual Warframe convention this July. They stated that there will be more head-turning activities and mind-blowing announcements than ever before.

After two years of growth and sold-out success, TennoCon 2018 will take place on Saturday, July 7, at the London Convention Center in downtown London, Ontario, spotlighting an array of new developer-led panels and workshops, entertaining Warframe activities, playable game kiosks, and a gamut of surprises. Eager players (known in-game as ‘Tenno’) can buy tickets from a flexible range of tiers starting Wednesday, February 28, with the knowledge that a portion of the event’s proceeds will be donated to this year’s official partner, Canada Learning Code.

TennoCon tickets will be available for purchase starting at 11 am PST/2 pm EST, Wednesday, February 28 at the official TennoCon website, warframe.com/tennocon.

Four tiers of tickets will be available including Full Day, Collector’s, VIP, and Legendary tickets. For players unable to attend TennoCon, an exclusive Digital Pack - chockfull of exclusive in-game items and gear - will be made available Tuesday, April 3.

What about cosplay you ask? Good question. Following last year’s debut Cosplay contest, this year’s Warframe enthusiasts are in for a huge opportunity: Digital Extremes is offering a grand prize total of $10,000 (CAD) to the best-of-show contestant. Following the day’s rich mix of programs, contests, and panels, Digital Extremes’ core devteam will then conclude the day’s events with its live Twitch show, TennoLive.

This looks to be pretty damn awesome, and we hope, well I hope, that I can go and cover this event for you all.
